Papa Murphy’s Is A Top Franchise

Entrepreneur ranks Papa Murphy’s as a top franchise

It’s no surprise that Papa Murphy’s regularly claims a spot on “best of” lists for consumers and small business owners alike. As the nation’s largest take and bake pizza franchise, it’s a consumer favorite, and has also proven to be a top franchise for entrepreneurs looking to begin their own business, or to expand into the competitive pizza-franchise space with a trusted name.

A prime example is Entrepreneur magazine’s Top Food Franchises list. Papa Murphy’s has appeared on this list numerous times, which shows the brand’s resiliency and strength over time, and especially in the last couple of years, says Kim McBee, Senior Vice President of Guest Experience and Brand Marketing.

“This list is the gold standard of franchise rankings, because Entrepreneur’s editorial review team goes past a superficial skimming of performance numbers and dives into the fundamentals of what a brand offers, from training and support to R&D and concept longevity,” McBee says. “Making this list means we’re ticking off all the right boxes!”

That pays results in satisfied guests and repeat business, of course, while also helping franchise owners mentor their staff on the importance of quality operations.

What ongoing support is provided?

Papa Murphy’s has a stellar reputation in the consumer space. From great-tasting pizza to a fun, interactive experience, this is a brand that leads the competition across the board. To keep that going, every franchise owner benefits from training and support that helps them increase brand recognition and fuel sales growth.

Papa Murphy’s is no stranger to success

None of this has come about by accident. Four decades after introducing consumers to the take-and-bake concept and its many positives (such as better taste and a healthier alternative than frozen, additive-laden store-bought brands), Papa Murphy’s continues to innovate and lead the pizza franchise space.

One way that’s happening? Keeping up with — and staying ahead of — consumer taste trends. Just this year alone, Papa Murphy’s has introduced dairy-free cheese and new dipping sauces, and prior to that, Keto-friendly crustless pizza and gluten-free crust in store.

Speaking of stores, Papa Murphy’s has cemented its place as a top franchise with a dynamic new store design that makes space for grab-and-go orders, contactless pickup, and more. It’s just another way that the brand is focused on analyzing consumer desires, and then helping franchise owners meet them, without sacrificing quality or the unique Papa Murphy’s experience.
